"Some friends and I spent maybe 4-5 hours cutting wire and affixing them to mason jars," he said. "Then the day-of the same friends and I drove out to [my girlfriend's] family's farm and spent another 5 hours hanging them from her favorite tree.

"We had to turn them on as we hung them so I was a little worried that the tree would burn down or that they would be out of battery by the time my girlfriend and I drove back out.

"But things [were] as they were, we got there after sunset and it was more beautiful than I had even expected it to be."

The man also revealed: "I had to wait for her to stop crying before I could even ask her to marry me."
